Nov. 21 (UPI) -- House Republicans have called on former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify before a committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued congressional subpoenas seeking Bill Clinton's testimony Dec. 17 and Hillary Clinton a day later as the committee investigates the Epstein case, USA Today reported.
"The committee looks forward to confirming their appearance and remains committed to delivering transparency and accountability for survivors of Epstein's heinous crimes and for the American people," Comer said in a statement.
Comer on Aug. 5 sought the Clintons' testimonies regarding their relationship with former financier and convicted sex offender Epstein, but their attorney asked Nov. 3 that they be allowed to submit a "written proffer of what little information" they have to share, according to the New York Post.
Comer accused the Clintons of demanding the House committee scrap any plans for them to appear before it when responding to the attorney's request.
